Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Who needs climate change to end civilization? We’re surrendering it to barbarians all on our own.
“The Earth has long ago been stripped of all forms of resources; its soil is utterly barren and its atmosphere is a fog of pollution. Massive, labyrinthine edifices of state sprawl across the vast majority of the surface. Its oceans have long ago boiled away. Many mountain ranges have been levelled – perhaps all but the Himalayas.”
Not now but soon?
Saskboy has been drinking the cool-aid for sure…
That was really cute. My comment:
Even more amusing is that the misguided, sanctimonious radical leftists on this board actually believe that CO2 is tied to global warming. It’s really cute. Excuse me while I hop in my Ford F-350 — this will be the last weekend to go hunting and kill some wildlife. My freezer is just about out of meat. Oh, and I’ll use an un-registered gun, too.
By the way, why were you not, with your wonderfully heartwarming ideas, and your CBC cheerleading for you, *not* able to convince more Canadians to vote for a left-wing party?
Civilizations do end when the citizens lose all reason. Looks like we’re getting close. Enviro-nuts, animal worship, improving oneself is evil. I could make a long list. We could slow the decline if we got a truly conservative government that quit supporting the destructive sects.
Is this a joke? AGW is a hoax. If civilization is to end, it will be that it burns to the ground while incompetent politicians like Obama golf and prattle nonsense.
But it is nice to see the loons are getting worried that people have stopped listening to them and their fake but true narratives. And yes, this is all about greed, the greed of Green Profiteers like Al Gore, GE, etc. who are only too happy to skim billions from the citizens while they themselves live in the lap of luxury consuming 10x the energy that normal people use.
Mark my words, Obama is working on starting a war with Iran just to prop up the price of oil so the rest of his so called green companies won’t go bankrupt like Solyndra pushing their expensive uneconomic products. Wind generators and solar panels aren’t cost competitive unless oil is around $200/barrel. So If Obama and the rest of the pols can’t impose carbon taxes to jack up the price, the only thing left is to create an artificial shortage. They tried a domestic drilling ban and due to horizontal drilling and fracking, they failed to achieve the result. War with Iran is their last chance.
First of all, I don’t use anything but Fahrenheit, and does this mean we should use up the petroleum fuels faster. Bring back the 427 hemi engine! After that we can all start living purer lives because the fuel is all gone. Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.
When Desmond Tutu supports your ’cause’ I believe you have finally jumped the shark:

Global Warming ate my homework.
Breivik’s in the nuthouse for his brand of insanity, but the liberal kind is rewarded by power and privilege.
Who killed more, the guy with the rifle, or the eco-freaks with the zeal to divert food production to ethanol?
Breivik would have to keep shooting the rest of his life to keep up.
There’s no other logical reason for the Conservatives’ stance on ignoring the imminent threat of climate change.
Logically, climate change is not a threat, imminent or otherwise.
The climate normally changes, there has never been stasis over any period of decades and the idea that there has been some sort of stability with the earth’s climate is merely the triumph of communist propaganda in the Information Age coupled with natural human gullibility.
Ah well.
Devastating satire by Saskboy. There aren’t nearly enough people incisively lampooning the hyperventilating idiocy of the indoctrinated, received-wisdom, “everybody knows” left, let alone doing it that well.
Some might argue that Saskboy’s characterization of the leftist position – that our civilization will collapse if we don’t adhere to the Kyoto agreement – is a gross exaggeration, and that this unrealism renders it ineffective as satire, but there are actually a lot of idiots on the left who do talk (and write) like that.
Bang-on, and note-perfect. Saskboy is a genius of the highest order.
I’m thinking I’ll go club a baby harp seal to death, freeze it with a diesel powered reefer, truck said seal to saskabush, in my SUV. then proceed to shove it up sask-boy’s nose..
hey Kate, I thought clingy leftist nerds weren’t allowed in Sask..
Maybe his mommy should go and fill up his sippy cup, b’for beddy
Thank heaven, Kate. You had me worried Zombie Jack Layton was out.
Written piece of crap of course but I did like the last line – “The forces of darkness are winning”.
The delicious despair of the Liberal left is something to savour as they have finally woken up to the fact that their days of invisible plunder from the shadows are over. Oh yea, hard working Canadians the real 99%’s are now paying some attention.
Comment to the original thread:
Saskboy, you just blew away your own argument. There WAS NO SUV’s or Harper governments when the last SEVEN ice ages melted away. 12,000 ft of ICE over Toronto and it MELTED away – at least SEVEN TIMES!! How can any fool fall for the ICCP/GORE/MANN claims that gloBULL warming is ALL man-made and the only way to stop it is for the industrialized nations to PAY the UNindustrialized nations for the privilege of continuing to pollute? None of those accords had ANYTHING to do with greenhouse gas emissions. It was redistribution of wealth. OUR wealth to 3rd world dicktator’s Swiss bank accounts – oh and Gore’s greenhouse gas exchange. All that a bit TOO transparent for a committed leftest or are ya just a tad too dim to see the obvious?
Koyoto, BTW, was signed by Chretien – who did NOTHING about CO2 gas emissions from Canada for FOURTEEN YEARS. Were you squawking and posting then or does partisan politics only count when you’re knocking Conservatives? That was a question and the answer is obvious too.
At first Kate I thought you meant the Justin Bieber’s taking over.
Get over it, for Pete’s sake…
I kinda enjoyed the day that Saskboy stopped posting here … it’s been a few years … he’s still bat shit crazy … the world needs constants.
I like the guy personally but can’t take any argument seriously when someone references wikipedia as their scientific source like he for C02 contributing to global warming.
Saskboy is right, greed is a big problem — “greed” meaning the desire for something to which one is not entitled. Prime examples are fatcat civil servants who get paid big salaries for doing “work” that is not only unproductive but quite possibly extremely destructive, i.e. most regulatory agencies. These civil servants could actually help the economy merely by being put on welfare. Other civil servants, like the people who pave the roads, don’t fall into this category.
Another form of greed is that of corporations who run to the government to get it to pass laws and regulations that hinder their competitors.
Greed only becomes a problem in the absence of a capitalist free market economy. Trade is the voluntary exchange of goods and services for mutual benefit. Under capitalism, if a person asks too much in return for what he has to offer, no one will trade with him; thus greed is kept in check. Any kind of government intervention distorts the economy and can easily allow the greedy to rip off everybody else. The economic calculations provided from voluntary trade are essential to decide whether resources are being used efficiently. Otherwise, capital may be consumed rather than increased, and this is what leads to the collapse of a civilization.
Capitalism is founded on reason, and it is the political system consistent with the principles of justice. To abandon it is to abandon hope.
The first steps toward ending the decline:
1. Streamline the tax system. For individuals, abolish most loopholes and deductions (individual, spouse, probably kids and charitable can stay). If there has to be more than one bracket then the top one should not be excessive. For corporations, if there has to be a corporate tax at all, then it should be a flat low rate (2 or 3 per cent) on gross income, with no deductions at all, to cover the cost of police, fire, contracts, etc.
2. Deregulate. Keep the laws against fraud, of course, but all the silly regulations regarding the colour of margarine or whether you can park on your own property can be dispensed with.
3. Scrap every single grant to “advocacy groups” and “activist groups” immediately!
4. Start thinking about how to abolish the welfare state, over a period of a couple of decades. Ending economic regulations like minimum wage will enable the unemployment rate to drop close to zero. That by itself should cut the number of people collecting welfare or EI by quite a bit.
Industrialized nations emit far less carbon dioxide than the Third World, according to latest evidence from Japan’s Aerospace Exploration Agency
http://co2insanity.com/2011/11/15/new-satellite-data-contradicts-carbon-dioxide-climate-theory/
http://pics.livejournal.com/johnosullivan/pic/0002dcxk/s640x480
the color-coding system of the iconic maps showing where regions were either absorbing or emitting the trace atmospheric gas. Regions were alternately colored red (for high CO2 emission), white (low or neutral CO2 emissions) and green (no emissions: CO2 absorbers).
Bizarrely, the IBUKU maps prove exactly the opposite of all conventional expectations revealing that the least industrialized regions are the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases on the planet.
Yes, you read that correctly: the U.S. and western European nations are areas where CO2 levels are lowest. This new evidence defies the consensus view promoted by mainstream newspapers, such as the New York Times.
I believe Sask-boy was upset and had a tantrum, when his assistance check was late & he had to stop playing x-box live, or something.
*I want my 15 minutes of fame*, like the kid that makes a scene, because he will be noticed then.
Do I believe the world should cut down on waste… Yes, but rather than nag at us, who live in educated and cleaner areas. March over to the overpopulated & polluted countries and demand that they pull up their socks, but you have to abandon your timmy or starbucks latte first.
Oh, sorry. That would be too much sacrafice…probably lives on a pot farm, too.
The delusion is strong in that one. I like how he had to respond to every comment. Maybe he should have just made his original post ten times as long.
That was good Kate. Poor poor Saskboy. He is all greased up like a sh*thouse rat with no place to go. His world is collapsing. Harper is taking away socialist scams in Canada one at a time. Gun Registry, gone, CWB gone, Kyoto gone, section 13 of Human Rights Act gone, Kent announced today, no more money for Guilt Payments over CO2 etc created by the west, gone. Harper bought a little yellow dog, and he is paying a retired redneck from Alberta, to walk it over to Trudeau’s crypt once a day to relieve itself. Trudeau gone….heh, heh, heh….
What will/is destroying civilization is the incredible nonsense that this generation considers Science. The behavior of a scientist is not to deceive others while filling thier pockets with cash. In the pursuit of scientific truth those that succeed do not behave in the manner of the UE/UN AGW group
AGW is nonsense and everyone knows its nonsense; only the truly stupid keep beating that drum.
Mann & Jones conspired to deceive, and faked the science. The Scientific establishment of core principles does not exist. These PhD puppy mills must be shut down.
If Saskboy is soooo concerned about the environment, what’s he doing on the internet?
John Klein aka Saskboy has once again proven he is the dumbest blogger in Canada.
This guy is as sharp as the edge of town.
That’s the kind of nonsense that keeps Leftists from ever being taken seriously by anyone with the capacity for reasoned thought.
I couldn’t resist. I hope SaskBoy invites me to wherever he lives to give me the opportunity to do what I’ve got the itch to do. If he’s big and young and I take a s–t kicking, I’ll still feel better.
“Makes an old hockey fighter like me want to take an occasional SaskBoy out behind the shed and administer a good shit-kicking. Not to make any difference, there are too many of them. No, just to feel like I did something effective in shutting one of them up at least for a while. Lord knows, writing this didn’t change SaskBoy’s mind.” Nothing written or spoken is ever going to do that.
Armageddon will begin in Canada?
Who would a thought it?
–
Always thought that would come from the Middle East..
second thought,
Canadian Armageddon-
gotta be a country song in there somewhere..
I worry this despair will cause saskboy to become unhinged. He will give up on saving civilization and take to a hedonistic life of debauchery and beautiful women.
That was an amazing piece of trash . I have been following these types of wingnuts since Chretien signed that Kyoto Protocol. It was obvious way back then that the goal of the Kyoto Protocol is to destroy the western way of life. The problem with destroying the western way of life is that the generous tax revenue that the enviro wacos have been using to punish said taxpayers dries up and they lose their cushey livelyhoods at the taxpayers expense.The other irony of the Kyoto protocol which was a Socialist Wet Dream is that it has rapidly accelerated the demise of the Socialist Movements all over the world. It is tragic that so many innocent people have been hurt along the way by the madness. I remember posting at this site that these forces would not be happy until they put the world into a recession. My comments reaped a lot of scorn. There are other factors involved in this worldwide recession but these job killing regulations made possible by this blind acceptance of this wrong headed global warming theory has certainly been a contributing factor. It would be entertaining to watch these socialist squirm except for the fact that so many sad taxpayers are suffering from increasingly punitive energy cost brought about by this Global Warming fiasco. I spend my winters in the Arizona to escape the Global Warming and the American people I know have been saddened to see what is happening to their country under this leftist President of theirs.
So does this guy ever grow up and become, Sask-man? Stay tuned.
So…the guy is just pulling our chain, right?
This is the the strawman argument we see from the leftards and warmists, “The SCIENCE says….you guys on the right don’t believe in science…”
They have willfully blinded themselves through their faith of environmentalism, to any other possibility.
News for saskboy….our science beats your science, hands down. Skeptics believe in science, most absolutely, we want to see the whole picture, not just what we want to see. We want to see indisputable fact and proof, not cherry picked instances, loosely related to each other, to make a nice, political spin and direction.
We believe in the scientific method, not ‘consensus’. Your science would still be declaring the earth flat, and the universe revolving around the earth. That was consensus science of the past.
Kate, thank you for the morning interlude and being reminded what a lefty thinks like.
Can’t improve much on the above comments.
If Saskboy is an example of current NDP thinking then heaven help us if they ever get back in power.
Please don’t ever link to that blog again – I feel so dirty now. It’s painfully sad to see someone in that state – hook, line, and sinker. Global Warming is fraught with all sorts of Charletons trying to get their hands on the ridiculous amount of money in the globull warming basket. History will show this theory on Climate Change to be the cause of the biggest voluntary decline of civilizations and the enormous waste of capital will be staggering. And, of course, history will show it to be wrong – but it’s ok because its supporters (other than the obvious ones who are in it to make billions AKA Al Gore) had good intentions (what a lot of huey).
Well I suppose it was too much to ask that everyone is Saskatchewan is as brilliant as Kate.
Saskboy is one dim bulb.
Seriously, could we rent the movie set for “The Village” which looked very ‘carbon neutral’ to me and fill it with these idiots? A winter without central heating, electricity, the internet and fresh fruit from South America might make the greenies understand why not having to chop wood with an axe, or carry water from the well is called progress.
Snowmageddon! Glacierocalypse!
It really is quite sad to see someone go so far off the deep end.
You’d think guys like him would be THRILLED the earth really isn’t going to boil up….instead he clings to unreality and tinkered-with science.
Why? Well he’s correct about one thing, Greed is the problem. But it’s the left who is Greedy. Greedy for power, greedy for climate-change wealth redistribution, and greedy for the chance to control everyone’s lives with pseudo science. It’s a left vs. right issue, now more than ever. Marxist chicken-little thinking versus critical thinking and common sense.
Just reading that chicken-little scratch proves how far from reality these fools are…
I see a headline over at the Glob and Wail that says “Green Party chief fears Tories will act as ‘saboteurs’ at climate talks”
I sure hope so….the world very much needs this fraud and its shysters exposed and to tear this gong show down. The world NEEDS a climate Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg.
As long as the Saskboys of society keep trumpeting the “fixing” of climate, instead of “adapting” to climate …we can’t lose!!
Anyone who thinks man can control the earths temperature simply by turning up/down the Co2 is living in Star Trek fantasyland.
Earth to Saskboy…we will NOT comply!
This one drinks deeply from “Paul Ehrlich / Lizzy May kool-aid”.
It’s all rather sad & predictable.
The same old closeted Marxist delusions of grandeur and persecution, combined with a fanatical zeal, & reinforced by Machiavellian driven science.
Snow. Falling. In the streets. In Toronto. Now.
/liberal campaign ad
After completely discrediting everything the leftist’s believe, (that’s ‘believe’ not ‘know’) they would still want to kill conservatives for leaving the cap off the toothpaste tube.
This is about envy and subsequent hatred of those who go and successfully get a life whilst these others languish in the shadows waiting to get some of our hard earned money through guilt and tax extortion. Politician scum bags who play into this through vote buying are just as evil and short sighted.
Lazy, spoiled, misinformed, emotionally unstable, poorly educated, false sense of grandeur through trophies for showing up and not achieving anything. Also these folks are preoccupied with doing whatever the feel like doing or not doing anything at all. They are the stupid generation who cannot resist believing do-gooder liars.
When your goal in life is to SAVE THE WORLD, you will never have to actually show any progress or work or results …. it’s the perfect cop out for the chronically lazy and devious under achievers in our society.
Please be patient with the poor boy, he was brainwashed by his father, who is one of the 8 or 9 remaining hardcore liberals left in the province.
By the way, Little SaskyBoy also was the twit who once blogged about meeting Justin Trudeau. He then reminded us that the Trudeau’s, and I quote, “Were Canada’s Royal Family”.
Yep, it’s those greedy conservatives alright. I guess that’s why every time there’s an economic downturn and everybody realizes they must tighten their belts a little, those greedy conservatives hit the streets demanding higher wages and more entitlements.
Good grief, Kate. Please warn us next time. Normally, I only go to Saskboy’s website when I feel the need for a good purge. What an airhead!!
